Blasphemers
Philistines.
Pretty much sums up my opinion of those that invented Cincy Chili.

There's a Cincinnati chili place a block from my apartment. I'd never had it before. Interesting. But I'm not down with that noodle shit. I get it with beans, onions, and cheese, like God intended.
It's hella better than their "traditional" chili, where they seem to think lots of jalapenos are as far as seasoning needs to go. But I have a feeling they only have that for the people who freak at the Cinci style.

It's *supposed* to have beans, onions, and cheese, along with the spaghetti.

I'm with Frank. Where I grew up, chile is sacred. Not midwestern heresy. You do not defile chili or chile.
(my parents are midwesterners. I can denigrate them.)
I love my stress telescope. Did I mention that? I made it a dialog bubble I will pin to officemate's. It says "SAVE ME!"
I also added a distressed face.

Even if the dis doesn't come, this episode is amusing the hell out of me. Alton's wearing a big fake mustache and talking in a bad cowboy accent. He hasn't really broken character once yet, even though it's ridiculous.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I like both kinds of chili.
So there.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Someday, I will ahve to try Cincinnati Chili. The closest I think I have come is GD Ritzy's (regional chain), which does the spaghetti thing, and you have to add beans if you want them, but I have no idea how it relates to the real (not real chili) thing. And so, I will forego speaking on the subject.
I will say, however, that I enjoy ordering "3-way chili". It makes me smile.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
When I was in school at Marquette back in the mid-80s, the only place to go after the bars closed was to Real Chili, whose slogan was "Breakfast of Champions." IIRC, they did have the option of getting your chili Cincy-style, as did the Union's chili bar, but I thought it was just too weird to have pasta at the bottom of my chili bowl.
